right direction. We asked Guruji about the match, which he blessed.
Need I add here that the girl belonged to a Punjabi family as Guruji
had foretold almost three years ago?

Holding our malefic stars at bay

Soon after our marriage, our problems began. Everything seemed to
be going wrong. We would have lots of fights over seemingly trivial
issues. Out of nowhere and for no reason our fights would erupt.
Either we would not get time together or if we got time we would
be fighting. As time progressed, both the frequency as well as the
intensity of our troubles increased. So much so that much distressed
we would pour our hearts out before Guruji: If we were to have so
many troubles, we’d say, you should not have allowed us to marry.
This went on for almost two years.

At this time, rather than keeping faith and praying to Guruji,
we did something more foolish. We went to a famous astrologer
for consultation. We told him that we were facing problems in our
marriage and showed him our horoscopes. Upon looking at them,
the first thing he said was: “Be thankful that you both are alive today
and with each other. Your horoscopes are such that either one of you
would have killed the other by now or else both of you would have
been going for your second marriage.” As if that wasn’t enough, the
astrologer put the last nail in the coffin. Out of 36 gunas (loosely,
qualities; horoscopes are matched and the higher the number of
qualities that match, the better a proposal), he said, our match came
to -10. While other couples would have a match of over 30 points,
we were in the negative. We were shell-shocked.

While we were being short-sighted, Guruji had planned way
ahead. The troubles that we would otherwise have faced for the rest
of our lives were reduced to a very short duration. During this time,
our marriage was held intact by the invisible force of Guruji’s grace.
Soon after, things started coming on the right track. The problems
disappeared as mysteriously as they had come. There was nothing
that we had done or could do to sort things out. It was only because
of the blessings of Guruji that our horoscopes had been rewritten.
The dark night was over.

Proof of this, though none is required, comes from the fact that
predictions of Chhavi’s father, (who reads horoscopes himself),
